Back from Paris
Lizzie is riding for MS on the Vineyard May 3 - Support her!
Are we boring for going back to Paris, where we’ve been both together and separately so many times? Maybe, but who cares? Paris is always beautiful, even when the weather is lousy. Plus we made it to Chantilly and Rouen, first time to both places, so it wasn’t only a nostalgia trip. The Louvre continues to impress with their willingess to mix contemporary art with permanent collection.
I’ll have to learn how to get Tony’s photos to the right size to post or get him on the Flickr bandwagon.

Their old man Tony is riding too - he has no picture, but he is blogging on his ride page.

Blogging and Biking for a good cause!
The blogging bug has finally bit my boyfriend! Confirming my friend David’s contention that most of our culture wouldn’t exist without Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Tony’s biking obsession has finally been drawn out into what my scholarly colleagues call “the networked public sphere,” thanks to the MS Society’s brilliant new addition to their charity ride page: you can now add your own blog to your fundraising page. Tony’s is all about bikes of course (especially the bike below).
His younger girls are riding as well, and they need more help with donations, so if you want to give to a good cause, here are their links:

War, what is it good for?
You know the answer, but this Moveon.org video is a good reminder.
The stages of grief
So much for journalistic neutrality, Bob Garfield. But great video.
Linkedin finally fixed!
Wow, did that take a long time! 3 weeks, 3 days to be precise: 1st request to Customer Service - March 10, final response from engineer reporting that they thought they’d finally fixed it (and this time they had) April 3
Customer service folks involved, not including the CEO - 5
Concerned notes from contacts in response to my public question 40
But now I’m happily back adding connections!
